Mrunal Thakur opens up about her strong belief in evil eye amid dating rumours with Dhanush: 'Bohot nazar lagti hai'

Fresh off the success of Son of Sardaar 2 alongside Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur is in a celebratory mood, but she’s keeping her cards close to her chest. In a recent interview, the actress revealed she’s manifesting big things for her career, but avoids speaking about them aloud, thanks to her strong belief in the concept of ‘nazar’ (evil eye).

“There are a lot of things I still need to do with my career, a lot of boxes I haven’t checked,” she shared with Instant Bollywood, but admitted she won’t discuss them openly. Mrunal believes that revealing too much too soon can bring bad luck. “I will talk about those things once I actually do them, because I don’t want to jinx it... bohot nazar lagti hai,” she added.

‘You should control how much you tell the world’

Mrunal went on to explain that she maintains strong personal boundaries, especially when it comes to navigating fame and fan expectations. Rather than announce her upcoming projects or constantly share updates, she prefers to stay silent until things are finalised.

“One should think before speaking about oneself,” she noted, adding that it's important to control how much of your life is public. She observed how people, in the excitement of talking about their plans, end up jinxing them. “I have a very different personality in that sense,” she said. “Someone might talk about the number of releases they have next year. I don’t want to talk about it.”




Despite the constant spotlight, Mrunal shared that she doesn’t let pressure affect her. “People ask me how I deal with it... but I don’t feel it,” she smiled. “I am a very positive person, so I don’t have to work on it. I don’t even feel tense or pressured before a release.”

Rumours swirl around Mrunal and Dhanush

While she’s cautious about her professional life, Mrunal's personal life has been attracting attention lately. The Sita Ramam actress was recently spotted at a party with actor Dhanush, sparking speculation about a possible romance. The Tamil star also attended the screening of Son of Sardaar 2, which only added fuel to the fire.



According to a report by News18, the two are reportedly dating, although neither has confirmed the relationship. Dhanush was previously married to Aishwarya Rajinikanth; they divorced in 2024 after two decades together.
